Streetlevel: New Steakhouse for Leonard Street

According to the blog A Test of Will, this new steakhouse at the corner of Leonard and Conselyea is scheduled to open today. It’s hard to say who the target audience is: The owner’s penchant for for a corny pun at the expense of all irony (“Dee Brooklyn Steak House” reads the tagline) may not fly with the hipsters and we’re not sure the old-timers are used to dropping thirty bucks for a cut of beef. How do you think this will fly? Is there much restaurant competition in that immediate area of the Burg?

I sincerely hope this place does well. This is not so far away from Grand Street where a new restaurant row is starting to take shape. Lily Thai, Wombat, Le Barricou (French Bistro) – all great additions to the hood.
I wish this were on Montague Street.
Only a pompous jerk doesn’t eat a restaurant because of a neon sign in the window. Or because they can’t decide if the neon is meant to be ironic. Don’t go–more steak for me, hipsters!

Thanks,
I see now where it is.
I’m not familiar with that area at all.
Will check it out.
The location is the setting for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. However, it doesn’t seem as though a steakhouse will prosper there.
Sam: click on the GMAP link next to the jump and you’ll see the location.
You don’t eat steak?
Waddsa matta w/you?
This is Brooklyn, It’s eat or be eaten!
i’m not vegan & i don’t eat steak. many people don’t eat like that anymore–but then again, many still do. good luck to the new owner.
on neon & fine dining–
must everything look exactly the same? does fine now all mean the same thing? neon can be seen as mid-century retro perhaps? I dunno….
The location has little foot traffic. Many will not know it’s even there. The other restaraurants in the area are mediocre Italian places.
